Natural Latex is latex that comes right out of the tree and is put into the mold. Some manufacturers claim that natural is better, because its natural. Really its just cheaper. The problem with natural latex is that it contains oils that dry out within about a year. Once these oils dry, the latex begins to degrade rapidly, losing its resiliency. It actually becomes chalky and begins to flake away. See similar questions...

Latex FoamLatex is the milky sap of the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. It is a complex intracellular product of a system of cells that synthesize a polymer (cis-1,4-polyisoprene), which is the main component of natural latex rubber. This natural latex rubber is produced in Africa and South Asia, South America, Indonesia and Sri Lanka, where trees are tapped for latex by cutting a spiral groove in the bark and placing a spout and collection cup at the base.

Visco Elastic Memory foam is a temperature sensitive form of polyurethane foam that has special additives that create a self-adhesion property for a few seconds after being exposed to a heat source (your body). Over time, the adhesive slowly releases, allowing the foam to return to its original shape. This conforming property is very popular to thousands of sleepers worldwide, due in most part to Tempurpedic's marketing efforts. See similar questions...

Natural latex rubber differs from viscoelastic foam in the way the polyurethane bonds are arranged in the material. Usually visco-elastic foam is a softer than natural rubber foam bed.

Latex is made from a rubber-based product versus memory or visco-elastic foam which is derived from plastics. Latex provides "instantaneous recovery" as it contours and supports any body movement, while memory foam provides "slow recovery". With memory foam, the sleeper must wait for their body temperature to soften the foam prior to getting the true contouring support that they would experience immediately with latex.
